    Honorable Mayor Members of the City Council City of North Mankato North Mankato, Minnesota 56003 State law requires that all general purpose local governments publish within six months of the close of each fiscal year a complete set of financial statements presented in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the comprehensive annual financial report of the City of North Mankato (the City) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects. The City’s financial statements have been audited by Abdo, Eick & Meyers, LLP, a licensed certified public accounting firm. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosure in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD & A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD & A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD & A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

  • Profile of the Government The City of North Mankato is a city of the third class and is located in Nicollet County. Nestled along the bluffs at the bend of the Minnesota River in south-central Minnesota, it is approximately 80 miles southwest of the Minneapolis / Saint Paul metropolitan area. Access is provided via U.S. Highways 14 and 169, State Highways 22, 60, 66 and 68, and Interstate I-35 and I-90 are located within 40 and 50 miles of the City, respectively. There are 28 truck lines servicing the City with six truck terminals in the City. The Dakota Minnesota and Eastern Railroad Co. and Union Pacific Railroad provide daily freight rail service to the City. The City is also serviced by the Mankato Regional Airport which can accommodate charter, commercial freight and jet planes with a 6,600-foot paved, lighted runway. The City currently occupies a land area of four square miles and has a population of 13,808. The City is empowered to levy a property tax on real property located within its corporate limits. The City was incorporated in 1898 and has been a Statutory City since 1974. The City operates under the Optional Plan A form of government. Policy making and legislative authority is vested in a governing council consisting of the Mayor and four Council Members. The Mayor and City Council are responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring the City Administrator. The City Administrator is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, and for appointing the heads of various departments. The Mayor and Council are elected on a non-partisan basis. Council Members serve four-year staggered terms. The Mayor is elected to serve a two-year term.

    The 2010 U.S. Census designated the Mankato/North Mankato region as an urbanized area (metropolitan statistical area-MSA). Designation as an MSA is beneficial, positively having an impact on quality of life and the economy, including increased funding for transportation and economic development. The City provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection, the construction and maintenance of highways, streets and other infrastructure, and recreational services, along with water, sewer, storm water and sanitation utility services. North Mankato features a number of City parks for recreational activities among which is Caswell Park, one of the premier softball complexes in the nation. This facility has a substantial pedigree of hosting community, state, regional and national tournaments and features the Miracle Field for special needs athletes. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The City Administrator presents the proposed budget to the Council for review prior to September 30. The Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed budget and adopt a final budget by no later than December 31, the close of the City’s fiscal year. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and departmental program. Budget to actual comparisons are provided for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted.

  • Factors Affecting Financial Condition The information presented in the financial statements is best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates. Local Economy The City currently enjoys a favorable economic environment and local indicators point to continued growth. The unemployment rate is 3.1 percent which represents an increase from the previous year rate of 2.7 percent, mostly due to closing retailers. The Mankato/North Mankato area is a regional center for retail trade, agriculture, medical care, manufacturing and education. The area is home to Minnesota State University-Mankato, South Central College, Bethany College and Rasmussen College. The Mankato-North Mankato Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) has a total labor force of 57,992 which is projected to grow in several important areas. The 15-24 year old group (the “talent pipeline”) is expected to grow by 30% from 2015 to 2030. While the nation has growing concerns around the supply of “experienced peak performers” (45-64 year olds) - only 5.4% growth over the next 25 years - our MSA is projected to have 15.5% growth over the same time period. The City continues to experience residential growth with permits issued in 2016 for 23 new residential housing units at a total value of $6,125,130. The market value of all new residential, commercial and industrial permits in fiscal year 2016 was $17,507,669. The residential development continues to take advantage of existing inventory in subdivisions and much of the industrial growth comes from firms locating to the North Port Industrial Park owned by the North Mankato Port Authority, the economic development agency of the City. Long-Term Financial Planning The preparation of the annual budget includes a Five-Year Operating Forecasts, a Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, a yearly equipment replacement schedule and long-term projections of debt service requirements. In 2013, the City Council elected to conduct a debt study to analyze existing debt obligations with estimated revenues. This was prompted by declining revenue from projects funded with special assessments resulting in interfund loans to the Debt Service funds from both the General fund, Water Utility fund and Sewer Utility fund in the amount of $2,772,624 at the end of fiscal year 2013. Based on a repayment schedule adopted by the City Council these loans continue to be repaid each year and at the end of fiscal year 2016 the outstanding balance was $1,833,864. Complete payment of this interfund loan will be made in 2023. Refunding of the 2015B bonds including escrow proceeds effected the combined debt service fund balance by moving it from a negative position in 2014 to a positive position of approximately $1,500,000 by the end of fiscal year 2015. Following escrow payments in 2017, the combined funds will likely return to a negative fund balance that will resolve in time with the repayment of the interfund loans mentioned in the above paragraph.

West Carlson Drive Extension - New street and utility construction began on West Carlson Drive from County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 41 to approximately 850-feet west of CSAH 41. Estimated project costs are $1,047,000. The project will be financed using general obligation bonds and paid from special assessments on property to be annexed into the City, property tax levy to pay for the deferred assessment portion on property to be annexed into the City and enterprise funds. 2016 Roe Crest Dr. Project – This project consists of complete reconstruction of water, sewer, and storm water utilities, curb, gutter, and street surfaces along Roe Crest Dr. from Lee Blvd. to Marie Lane at a cost of $1,335,000. The project will be financed using general obligation bonds and paid from special assessments, enterprise funds, and the property tax levy. Municipal Building Improvement Project – This project consists of the redesign of the Municipal Building entrance and parking lot by removing the old handicap ramp and parking lot to raise the ground up six feet to construct a gently sloped sidewalk and parking lot that meet ADA requirements with improved aesthetics and functionality.

Funding for the project came from Community Development Block Grant allocations and the Capital Facilities and Equipment Replacement Fund.

  • Equipment The Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan calls for the replacement of $3.2 million dollars of equipment to be funded with cash contributions from the City’s General fund, Capital Facilities and Equipment Replacement fund, and utility funds. Awards and Acknowledgements The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of North Mankato for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. This was the twenty-ninth year that the City has received the prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City published an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report satisfied both GAAP and applicable requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. Respectfully submitted,

    John Harrenstein Kevin McCann City Administrator Finance Director

  • INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT Honorable Mayor and City Council City of North Mankato Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of North Mankato, Minnesota (the City), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of December 31, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the budgetary comparison for the General fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

  • Other Matters Report on Summarized Comparative Information We have previously audited the City's 2015 financial statements, and we expressed unmodified opinions on the respective financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information in our report dated June 20, 2016. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein for the respective proprietary fund financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived. Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis starting on page 21 and the Schedules of Employer’s Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability (Asset) and Related Ratios, the Schedules of Employer’s Contributions and the Schedule of Funding Progress for the Retiree Health Plan starting on page 101 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Also, the accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory section and statistical section have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 27, 2017, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

  • Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplemental information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules that further explains and supports the information in the financial statements. Figure 1 shows how the required parts of this annual report are arranged and relate to one another. In addition to these required elements, we have included a section with combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules that provide details about nonmajor governmental funds, which are added together and presented in single columns in the basic financial statements.

    Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation and miscellaneous. The business-type activities of the City include water, wastewater, sanitation, storm water and solid waste.

  • The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also a legally separate port authority for which the City is financially accountable. The port authority, although legally separate, functions for all practical purposes as a department of the City, and therefore has been included as an integral part of the primary government. The government-wide financial statements can be found starting on page 35 or this report. Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local government, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact by the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City maintains 42 individual governmental funds, which includes 19 Debt Service funds that are considered one fund for financial reporting. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the General fund, the Debt Service fund, the 2014 Construction fund, the 2015 Construction fund and the 2016 Construction fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found starting on page 42 of this report. Proprietary funds. The City maintains one type of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water, sewer, sanitary collection, storm water and solid waste operations. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the water, sewer, sanitary collection, storm water and solid waste operations, all of which are considered to be major funds of the City. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found starting on page 50 of this report. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found starting on page 58 of this report. Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found starting on page 59 of this report. Required supplementary information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City of North Mankato’s share of net pension liabilities (assets) for defined benefits plans, schedules of contributions, and progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and other postemployment benefits to its employees. Required supplementary information can be found starting on page 101 of this report. Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with the nonmajor governmental funds are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund financial statement and schedules can be found starting page 107 of this report.

  • Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City, assets exceeded liabilities by $52,766,363 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. By far, the largest portion of the City’s net position (82.4 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

  • Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. The General fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current year total fund balance of the General fund was $4,064,351 most of which was unassigned. As a measure of the General fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare unassigned fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 35.2 percent of total General fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 55.0 percent of that same amount. The General fund balance increased by $288,145 during the current year. Major factors of the increase in the fund balance of the City’s General fund was due to revenues exceeding budget by $39,036, including special assessments, intergovernmental, charges for services and miscellaneous revenues were over budget by $22,088, $56,796, $75,779 and $46,578, respectively. The Debt Service fund has a total fund balance of $2,158,831. There was an increase of $640,676 in the current year, partially attributable to transfers in of $683,728. The 2014 Construction fund has a total fund balance of $175,174. This balance is mainly due to unspent bond proceeds. There was no activity in this fund during the year. The 2015 Construction fund has a total fund balance deficit of $1,482,589. This deficit balance is due to insufficient aid and bond proceeds to cover construction costs. This deficit was caused by the State advancing Municipal State Aid Funds for Streets that were received in cash by the City in 2015 and 2016 but will not be recognized as revenue until available in future years. The 2016 Construction fund has a total fund balance of $258,050. This balance is mainly due to unspent bond proceeds. Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Unrestricted net position of the Water, Wastewater, Sanitation, Storm Water and Solid Waste funds at the end of the year totaled $1,944,589. The total decrease in net position in the current year for these funds totaled $105. General Fund Budgetary Highlights The City’s General fund budget was not amended during the year. Revenues were over budget by $39,036 and expenditures came in under budget by $94,049. Other financing sources (uses) had a positive variance of $27,137. The net result was an increase to the General fund balance of $288,145.

  • Capital Asset and Debt Administration Capital assets. The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business type activities as of December 31, 2016 amounts to $71,261,766 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and system improvements, machinery and equipment, park facilities, roads, highways, and bridges. The total decrease in the City’s investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was 1.9 percent. Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following:

    • Land disposals totaling $1,720,408 mostly related to Port Authority parcels. • Equipment and vehicle purchases of $1,141,960; disposals of $1,505,550 including, but not limited to, a new fire truck,

    new squad cars, a backhoe loader, an oil distributor, a street sweeper and various park equipment. • Improvements totaling $2,444,094 were added to construction in progress for the 14/41 Interchange project, CSAH 41

    Trail, Spring Lake Park hockey rink and warming project, Well No. 9 construction, Lookout Drive reconstruction, Roe Crest Drive reconstruction, Main Lift Station No. 1 and West Carlson Drive project. The Well No. 6, Well No. 9 and Main Lift Station No. 1 construction projects were completed in 2016.

    Additional information on the City’s capital assets can be found in Note 3C starting on page 72 of this report.

  • The City’s total debt decreased by $1,720,050 (5.1 percent) during the current fiscal year, consisting of new debt issuances of $2,765,959 and retirement of long-term debt of $4,486,009. The City maintained an “AA” rating from Standard and Poor’s for their 2016 issues. Minnesota statutes limit the amount of net general obligation debt a City may issue to 3 percent of the market value of taxable property within the City. Net debt is debt payable solely from ad valorem taxes. The current debt limitation for the City is $21,653,529, which is significantly in excess of the City’s outstanding general obligation debt. Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note 3E starting on page 76 of this report. Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates

    • The 2016 unemployment rate for the City was 2.4 percent, which is a decrease from a rate of 3.2 percent a year ago. This compares favorably to the State’s average unemployment rate of 4.0 percent and the national average rate of 4.7 percent.

    • Inflationary trends in the region compare favorably to national indices.

    • Tax capacity valuation increased in 2016 for taxes payable in 2016 by $406,307 or 3.9 percent. Market value of property has increased an average of .9 percent per year for the past 10 years.

    All of these factors were considered in preparing the City’s budget for the 2017 fiscal year.

    REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES

    TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES

    GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS

    FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016

    Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement

    of activities are different because

    Net change in fund balances - governmental funds 1,438,336$

    Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the statement of

    activities the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives and reported

    as depreciation expense.

    Capital outlay 3,203,314

    Depreciation expense (2,272,554)

    The statement of activities reports losses arising from trade-in of existing capital assets to acquire new capital assets.

    Conversely, governmental funds do not report any gain or loss on a trade-in of capital assets. (1,942,407)

    The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while

    the repayment of principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental

    funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report

    the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts

    are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.
